I couldn't take it couldn't stand another minute

Couldn't bear another day without you in it

All of the joy that i had known for my life

Was stripped away from me

The minute that you died

To have you in my life was all i ever wanted

But now without you

I'm a soul forever haunted

Can't help but feel that

I had taken you for granted

No way in hell that

I can ever comprehend this

I wasn't dreaming when

They told me you were gone

I was wide awake and feeling

That they had to be wrong

How could you leave me

When you swore that you would stay

Now i'm trapped inside a nightmare

Every single f**king day

It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending

Every scene fades black and there's no pretending

This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well

Theres no knight in shining armor

Who will wake me from the spell

I know you didn't plan this

You tried to do what's right

But in the middle of this madness

I'm the one you left to win this fight

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you

I know you're broken down

By anger and by sadness

You feel i left you in a world

That's full of madness

Wish i could talk to you

If only for a minute

Make you understand

The reasons why i did it

I wanna tell you that

You're all that ever mattered

Want you to know

That for eternity i'm shattered

I tried so hard just to protect you but i failed to

And in a prison of abandonment

I've jailed you

I never planned that i would leave you there alone

I was sure that i would see you

When i made it back home

And all the times i swore

That it would be okay

Now i'm nothing but a liar and

You're thrown into the fray

This bedtime story ends with misery ever after

The pages are torn and there's no final chapter

I didn't have a choice i did what i had to do

I made a sacrifice

But forced a bigger sacrifice on you

I know you've lived a nightmare

I caused you so much pain

But baby please don't do what i did

I don't want you to waste your life in vain

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you

You're not the only one who needed me

I thought you understood

You were the one i needed and you left me as

I always feared you would

Would i change it if i could

It doesn't matter how

The petals scatter now

Every nightmare just discloses

It's your blood that's red like roses

And no matter what i do

Nothing ever takes the place of you

Red like roses

Fills my head with dreams and finds me

Always closer

To the emptiness and sadness

That has come to take the place of you
